Logan Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Posting here since the IPB 3 preview site is offline. Is it possible to turn off the ability for users/groups to invite other users into personal conversations (essentially making it like the PM system in 2.x)? (preferably a per-group option, "can invite other users to personal convos", or "# of users allowed to invite"). I didn't see it when I looked through the beta, but I could have overlooked it. I think it's important that this is added if not, as I was just discussing the new personal conversations with another admin and they're opposed to the new system (allowing more than one person in on a conversation) for the reason that it might lower public discussion, and the potential that it will be used to create unpleasant undercurrents rather than be a useful tool. Sad to say, but the gossip factor on our board can be extremely strong and he worries about facilitating that further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Charles Posted February 24, 2009 Management Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yes there's an option to limit number of participants. If you set it to 1 then it's just like the 2.x PM system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've checked in per-group settings, and in the Personal Message Setup setting. I can't think of anywhere else that would be appropriate for that setting? Thanks.

Management Matt Posted February 24, 2009 Management Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's incorrectly labeled (I have literally just fixed it) but the group setting is called "Max number of allowed to mass PM?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted February 24, 2009 Management Share Posted February 24, 2009 Max number of invites allowed? Enter 0 or leave blank to allow no invites other than named recipient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
